AmStaff, Pit Bull... What the hell was that?!

Breed Read

When is a pit bull not a pit bull? Thats
the riddle being pondered in
Cambridge, after news that a highly
publicized dog attack on a newspaper
boy and his mother earlier this month may not have been
what it seemed at all.
Twelve-year-old Ricardo Ramirez was on his route, when a
dog identified as an American Staffordshire Terrier ran out the
front door and badly mauled him. Attorney General Michael
Bryant immediately seized on the incident to drive home the
need for an all out ban on the breed in Ontario.

But it now appears the dog, named Lyric, wasnt a pit bull or
an American Staffordshire Terrier after all. It is a mutt,
confirms Bonnie Beekon of the Cambridge Humane Society. I
suspect, between 3 and 5 different crossbreeds of something.
The animal was sold through a newspaper as an American
Staffordshire Terrier but it was never microchipped or
tattooed. After the attack, the Humane Society determined it
was actually a mix of a Whippet, Great Dane and even some
Dalmation.
Breeder Tracy Dineley claims its ample evidence of why
Bryants much vaunted breed specific legislation doesnt have
a dogs leg to stand on.
It really upsets us when we find out that they say this is
what this is, and it is not. And it doesn't look anything like our
breed, she complains.
There's always going to be another breed that bites. If you
condemn the breeds and the purebred dogs, that doesn't save
you from crossbred dogs that bite ... It doesn't save you from
the Heinz 57 mutts that are supposedly the best dogs in the
world and they go and bite somebody."
Bryants legislation calls for all pit bulls in the province to be
spayed or neutered and muzzled when theyre in public.
Owners will be able to keep their pets for the rest of their
lives, but wont be able to get a new one.

􀁺 Lyric is expected to be euthanized on Monday.
Meanwhile, pit bull owners arent letting the issue die.
Theyre planning several rallies provincewide on Sunday
to try to nip Bryants bill in the bud.

EY HAET DOES STOOPED PEOPELS

Pure bred dogs have traits and temperament that from my ownership is true to word. They are fantastic! Cross breeding leads to a mixture of traits and unknown mixes of temperament. These cheap crosses are to blame for most attacks. Ban ownership of unpapered dogs, That would slowly stop this ridiculous bsl movement and preserve the quality of the breed, there are a lot of rescue dogs that are a result of irresponsible breeding, People who pay good money for purebred dogs look after them. PEACE
